Lag time needs reduced.

[Abomination713]

I have used Fox since the N64 days and I know he needed to be nerfed a bit in melee, and in Brawl he was toned down, but this is a bit much. The lag when landing on the ground, shooting the gun, and doing the down smash all need to be reduce. The reason I say this is Fox is based on his normal attacks alone to battle everyone with. He doesn't have strong special attacks and they are mostly for recoveries. If Fox can't use his gun or attacks without down time, it does nothing but hurt him. His range isn't the greatest and can be smashed pretty easily by some of the bigger characters since he's so light. I have noticed a lot of the characters get to hit Fox in the air even if we connect at the same time they seems to get priority.

For example, Little Mac is so overpowered since he's faster than Fox, has almost no lag with normal hits, and can kill a guy with just his normal spam punch. He has so many skills that can mess up your day. I know his air game sucks, but most of the fights are on the ground anyway. He has strong/fast normal attacks and skills that can be deadly to be hit by, but his air game sucks. Now Fox, is fast, but has so much lag time and his aerial moves are so weak unless you get a direct up hit and now that you can dodge multiple times in the air doesn't help his air game. The gun is useless since it only deals 1% damage and leaves you completely open. Only good for campers unless they can absorb it.

Am I the only person who feels this way? Am I just whining too much?

Also on an unrelated note, the Wolf Flash (3rd side special) doesn't even work right. Says it's suppose to send the enemy crashing to the ground when you hit them in the air with it, but doesn't. Nintendo was pretty good at missing that and not allowing us to use custom skills online. I can understand the stats, but not skills?

I totally feel this way, especially with the lazer. You can't even use it, let alone spam it, as it takes so long to put away that they are in your face because there is no stun on hit. Putting the gun away lag makes sense on like Zero suit Samus because if it hits (if you use it correctl/well) you have enough time to follow it up. In fact, I think her gun is even less laggy than Foxes?

It was nerfed because it was ridiculous in every smash game be could short hop to cancel the lag.

Consider the nerfs to things used against fox. He had his biggest weaknesses in brawl removed completely.

Lasers are still useful. It is still one of the best projectiles for unstaling moves as it is fast travelling and long ranged, which is extremely important in this game given that completely fresh moves get a 5% damage bonus. It is free damage in edgeguard situation.
